Learn to program an array of customized devices and
solutions
As a compact, highly efficient, scalable operating system,
Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7) is one of the best options for
developing a new generation of network-enabled, media-rich, and
service-oriented devices. This in-depth resource takes you through
the benefits and capabilities of WEC7 so that you can start using
this performance development platform today. Divided into several
major sections, the book begins with an introduction and then moves
on to coverage of OS design, application development, advanced
application development, how to deploy WEC7 devices, and more.
* Examines the benefits of Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7)
* Reviews the various elements of OS design, including
configuring and building a customized OS runtime image, using
debugging and remote tools, and more
* Explains how to develop native code applications with Visual
Studio 2010, develop database applications with SQL server compact,
and use the application deployment option
* Discusses how to deploy a WEC device, use the boot loader,
launch WEC using BIOSLoader, and deploy a WEC power toy
If you’re interested in learning more about embedded development
or you’re seeking a higher performance development platform, then
this is the book for you.
